Named Journeying January 18 Buddha Love Surrender

in the wake of loss, we are given the opportunity to make a quantum leap into that often mentioned field that’s out beyond default positions, the field of grace, sacred space of flowing harmony, living essentially where we really see, we real eyes…

we have no dominion over wild darkness/light

ours is simply to be still, hollow reeds for flow’s swirling currents

witnessing as bittersweet freedom opens into true liberation of emptiness

ever expanding spaciousness sans rules and dogma, fixed ideas and beliefs

there is only the sea of love breathing in the rhythm of waves, cosmic mirror of all

Named Journeying January 17 NA Sadness

2016 is being proclaimed as a year of putting compassion into action; let us begin by being lovingkindness in this moment and singing out to all our relations a song of strength, a song of courage, a song of spirit, a song of wisdom to hold us in the hard times inspiring our taking one more step when we feel we can’t go on and to open our one heart ever wider to each other for we all suffer losses each and every day with dreams changing form and flying away… everything is fleeting, only love is real, so, may we walk in beauty around the prayer wheel… may we be true refuge for all our relations sheltering each other through storms and desolations, returning home with each breath to create anew, a more beautiful cosmos, holy ground for me and you… may we comfort each other rekindling inner flame and dance joyously together round the circle once again…

Happy Birthday, Martin… May we all dream the dream of beloved community forward realeyesing it more and more deeply with every breath breathing in beloved community of our one cosmic heart…

Named Journeying January 13 True Refuge ReBirth 9-13-15 010

the thirteenth day of Journeying January, the moon known to many as the month for dreaming…  honoring my intention and commitment to be in wholehearted communion with the cosmos and to wander in wonder in every moment, i’m on Re-TREAT in the dream lodge, the cave of the womb of inner knowing where i’m taking true refuge in the moment where we have everything simply by being in the moment… where everything shapeshifts, as do we, into no thing… no attachments, no possessions, no fixed identity… shapeshifting into flow, currents of water, waves of light… dormancy deepens trust in invisible flowering already organically unfolding in rhythm with beloved…

Named Journeying January 12 Poetic PEACE Pilgrim 1Wanderer of Wonder

today’s frequency calls us to walk the path of silence in the dream cave as holy fool, wanderer of wonder, trusting in one’s elf to leap off of ledges into waiting wings of angels, to dream of a cosmos where we real eyes we are one family and our challenge in every moment is to respond with lovingkindness and compassion from our shared deep well of radical generosity…

with every breath, may we hear the bell calling us home to be beloved community breathing in this moment, this beautiful moment of divine communion with and through our one cosmic heart inspiring our voices to join as one chorus singing, winging… peace…

Named Journeying January 11 Dreaming

listening deeply, contemplating snow, ice crystals of clarity, stars not so long ago… i long to know you, to watch you unfold for you are a mirror reflecting our one soul… as synchronicity would have it, snow speaks to me through another pilgrim traversing the path of silence, a poet on an eternal journey into stillness, essence, love, flow… hear now great mother’s wisdom whispered from a snowflake to the earth below…

Snowflake

i’m into Inner

Deep

so snow speaks

unique, every flake

an individual

no two alike in all the ones

that fall

imagine such creative joy

that can repeat, repeat

and never duplicate—

wonder of divine intention

always to be new

and here i am

a formed uniqueness

from the Mind of God—

myself, no other

with the same configuration

in the human drift

and when i melt

and change my state

i wonder how my sense of self

will know

my droplet in the flow

I Am

the Mystery of Being

ever changing

ever blending

never ending

Named Journeying January 10 Bear Enters Womb Cave, Dream Lodge of Inner Knowing

forty days of journeying down the path of the dream lodge through the dark tunnel onto the pathway of illumination and now moving into the path of  great silence returning us to the cave of the lower heart, sacred space of pure consciousness, true emptiness before the world begins…

resting in the gap, silence breathes us in and out… hibernating in the dream cave of imagination, a new world is forming in ocean of being’s watery womb…

breathing in, breathing out, we return to our great mother in silence receiving essential nourishment as she breathes us into life through the placenta of the void, organ of great mystery…

Named Journeying January 9 Rainbow Crater Lake

today i sit still with the spirit of gaia while drawing down the energy of the dark new moon, a perfect day for wu wei traveling with no fixed plans or concern about arriving, nothing to do, simply be in the moment as  dormant seed rooting deeply in earth… being one with the mother, communing with cosmos, organically feeling what it’s like to be a tree and part of a spacious star family, floating in rain clouds warmed by the sun, now, bursting free as a bow of beauty, our one cosmic heart’s song of harmony… sung at a frequency heard by all, beloved’s  eternal returning call… to come back, come back, come home to me, dancing always with great mystery…
